Honey & Black Pepper Baked Ham

You know what? My family would never live through a Christmas without ham and this year I decided to make my own ham.

I learn to make this ham from a baking session with few friends from church. We had a great fun baking ham together and we had baked about 15 hams on that day.Every one of us got to bring home a ham.

My hubby and children gave a thumb up after eating the ham and that inspired me to bake my own ham for this Christmas.

A
baked ham isn’t ham without the glaze.
Look! The ham looks so gorgeous
after the glazing.

One
of our favourite ways to eat ham is to go with baked vegetables. The baked veggies, especially the capsicums(bell peppers) and
carrots , bring out the sweet flavour that goes beautifully with the ham. Not forgetting the mango
sauce. The pureed mangos and honey
mustard blended with brown sugar and lemon juice make a delicious
fruit-flavoured sauce to go along with the baked ham.

The
best ham I ever had for this Christmas!

I’m
contributing this recipe to Cook and
